Chapter 687: Choosing Marriages for the Maids

After dinner, all the family members were there. The old lady specially called Zimo and Luo Mei over. The couple knew that they were called over for something serious, so they stood respectfully with their hands lowered, waiting to be questioned.

Li Yan personally asked: "Luo Meike asked the three maids if they had any objections to the arrangements in the mansion? Or did they have their eyes on anyone?"

It was called an arrangement, but in fact it was just a list of all the men of marriageable age in the mansion and the farm, and those who were considered worthy of the three of them were screened, and then their opinions were sought. It could be said that they picked one out of a hundred, if not one out of a thousand.

The three maids all have good looks, are capable of both being housewives and cooks, have seen the world and are capable of taking on responsibilities. In the end, someone like Luo Mei is more than qualified to be the mistress of a small official's household. As for how to make the choice, I would like to ask for their own opinions. Marriage is a good thing, but if it is arranged entirely and they become enemies, that would be bad.

Therefore, there are not many people who can be listed. In addition to those in charge, there are also many close followers of Duke Shun and Prince Jue.

Luo Mei respectfully greeted his masters before answering, “All three of them have their own ideas, but they are not arrogant.

But none of them are too anxious, and they have their own unique ideas. Aunt Biyu just told me the purpose of her visit, so I brought all three of them here. I think it might be better to let them talk to the masters about important life events themselves. They are all waiting outside now. "

"You are quite clever, little girl. Call them in. I want to see what ideas they have. Do you still want to fly up to the sky?"

The old lady was smiling when she said this. She didn't think that they were arrogant and that only capable people could make conditions to her. Besides, if the maids trained in the mansion married well, it would also bring honor to the Shunguo Mansion.

After hearing the old woman's call, the three people immediately came in one after another, knelt down and respectfully bowed to all the masters.

Li Yan and the old lady quickly asked people to help them up: "What are you doing? I am arranging marriages for you, not selling you out. This kneeling makes me look like I am about to do something bad."

The old lady laughed and scolded, but she laughed even more happily. She asked someone to give them seats, but the three of them refused to sit down. They stood respectfully opposite the main seat and next to Luo Mei, waiting for instructions.

An Lan said first: "I know that Madam and the old lady really care about the marriage of our servants. We should thank them no matter what."

Sizhu also continued, "From the list selected by Madam and the Old Lady, we know what Madam and the Old Lady have in mind, and it's all for our own good."

Seeing that they had said all the good things, Rouju only said one sentence: "Old Madam, just don't marry me off."

When looking at the lists, Luo Mei also specifically told the three of them the masters' intentions. If they were willing to get married, they would also be set free.

Moreover, several stewards on the list were not household slaves, and several followers and guards had official ranks. After getting married, they would become official wives like Luo Mei, and their children would be able to take part in the imperial examinations in the future.

Seeing Luo Mei poking her with her elbow, An Lan knelt down first and said, "I only want to be with the young lady. I don't want to be free. If the children are smart and can study in the future, it won't be too late to ask the young lady to give them freedom."

After a long pause, Chuchu said, "Sister Anlan, marry a good one, and it won't be a problem for her to follow me like Sister Luomei in the future."

There were precedents of many servants who were good-natured and good at serving others being set free in the past. However, most people knew that even if they had some money, they would not necessarily live a better life than being a servant if they lost the protection of the Shunguo Mansion. Therefore, only those who had a good place to go or whose children and grandchildren were particularly promising would accept this favor. Some families would only let their younger generations go out, while others would still stay in the Shunguo Mansion honestly. Therefore, it was not surprising that An Lan refused to be freed.

Seeing that An Lan still shook her head, Luo Mei helped her by saying, "An Lan has fallen in love with the second son of Yan Laoshi's family, and no matter how I try to persuade her, it won't work."

"Yan Laoshi, the one driving the coach? Isn't his son at the farm? How can he be worthy of An Lan!"

Li Yan and the old woman still had some impression of the servants in the house, especially those who had been in the mansion for decades. They were shocked when they heard the name Yan Laoshi, because he was an illiterate and rough man. The couple were very honest.

The eldest son was a man of broad shoulders and strong waist. He was the head of the village and was as loyal and hardworking as his parents.

As for the second son, I have no impression of him.

Luo Mei added: "When An Lan goes out to check accounts, she often rides in Yan Haizi's car."

This means he is at most a coachman. How can he be a match for such an intelligent person like An Lan?

Seeing that An Lan was still kneeling with her head down and not saying a word, which was considered as tacit agreement with what Luo Luomei had just said, several people still felt it was a pity and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.

Li Yan still shook his head and advised An Lan, "Marriage is a big deal for a girl. It's like being reborn from the mother's womb. If it's wrong, it's wrong. An Lan, don't act on impulse. You need to think about it seriously."

Then she looked at the other two maids, fearing that they were short-sighted, and warned them first: "The maids in our Shunguo Mansion are no worse than the young ladies from small families. There are many who are worthy of you. Everyone should choose carefully. There is no need to wrong yourself."

Chu Chu was also a bit troubled. Speaking of which, An Lan was the smartest and the most skilled in martial arts. Not only did she manage so many accounts, but she also helped her train a lot of small managers and accountants in the past few years. It can be said that she had the most contacts with people. Who else could she choose? Why did she have to be so stubborn and marry an illiterate old man?

Li Yan asked for her: "Is Yan Haizi particularly good-looking?"

If you don't want anything else, then you want appearance. Everyone would think so, but can appearance be used to make a living?

But An Lan did not stand up or say anything, but Luo Mei helped her by saying, "Haizi can read a little, is smarter than his parents and his elder brother, and looks better than his elder brother."

What I mean by this is probably that ordinary people don't necessarily have to be extremely good-looking. Besides, marrying a man provides you with clothes and food, so what's the point of having good looks alone?

At this time, An Lan defended herself, knowing that if she dragged on, her masters might misunderstand her. "In fact, I didn't see Shanghaizi first. One time, we went to the farm to check the accounts and went into their house to drink a few sips of water. When I saw Yan Laoshi, it was like seeing my dead father. His mother is also kind and amiable. They treat me like my dead parents."

Tears started to flow as she finished speaking. Every child who entered Qingshan Villa had a bitter story. Their original families were either gone or in dens of wolves and tigers. If someone was a little bit nice to them now, they would probably be grateful and shed tears.

They didn't doubt that an honest family would deliberately deceive An Lan, but they also didn't approve of her repaying a favor with her whole life.
